The "config" package is no longer used and will be removed as part
of the 0.12 release cleanup. Since configschema is part of the
"new world" of configuration modelling, it makes more sense for
it to live as a subdirectory of the newer "configs" package.
The new config loader requires some steps to happen in a different
order, particularly in regard to knowing the schema in order to
decode the configuration.
Here we lean directly on the configschema package, rather than
on helper/schema.Backend as before, because it's generally
sufficient for our needs here and this prepares us for the
helper/schema package later moving out into its own repository
to seed a "plugin SDK".
Fixes#12174
You're allowed to refresh with a nil module (no configs) as long as you
have state. However, if `-input=true` (default) then this would crash
since the input attempts to read the configs.
The API contract with `terraform.Context` says that the module tree must
be non-nil and loaded. To do this for other commands we create an empty
module tree. We do that here now.
The local backend implementation is an implementation of
backend.Enhanced that recreates all the behavior of the CLI but through
the backend interface.
